Intersection Between Local Anesthetics and Cancer Biology: What Now? Where Are We Going?

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Local anesthetics (LAs), widely used in anesthesia, may also play a role in cancer treatment by inhibiting tumor growth, reducing metastasis, and enhancing immune responses. They modulate key pathways like AKT/mTOR and RAS/ERK while affecting angiogenesis and tumor innervation and the immune response.

Regulation of phospholipase C δ1 by sphingosine

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 1997
Sphingosine, which is on the pathway of sphingomyelin degradation, activates phospholipase C (PLC) delta1 moderately. In the liposome assay effect of sphingosine on PLC delta1 activity depends on KCl concentration. Stimulation of PLC delta1 by sphingosine increased as the KCl concentration is increased from 0 to 100 mM, and then diminished with the ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Fluorogenic Substrates for Phospholipase D and Phospholipase C [PDF]

Organic Letters, 2006
Fluorogenic analogues of phosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine, DDPB and lysoDDPB, were synthesized by an enzyme-assisted strategy. The analogues were evaluated as substrates for phospholipases C and D and lysophospholipase D. DDPB was cleaved by bacterial and plant phospholipase D (PLD) enzymes and represents the first direct fluorogenic ...
